Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 31, 1915.

Application filed February 19, 1915. Serial No. 9,222.

Be it known that I, PHILIPG. NESSER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Columbus, in the county of Franklin and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oil-Burning Mechanism, of which the following is aspecification.

My invention relates to oil. burning mechanism of the type particularly adapted for use for heating rivets, etc., by blacksmiths and the like. In this class of work, it is often desirable to vary the height as well as the angle of inclination of the burner to v direct its flame to various portions of the furnace box.

To this end, the main object of my invention consists in providing a structure whereby this angle of inclination or the height of the flame may be varied or adjusted. I also provide means whereby this burner structure may be held in any ad-,

justed position once it has assumed such position. i

Another object of my invention resides in pivotally supporting the burner structure from the fire box and then' providing a rotatable connection between the burner and the pipe communicating with the. supply tank and this burner, whereby the pipe itself may be vertically adjusted to cause a corresponding up or down movement of the free end of the burner structure.

The preferred embodiment of my invention is shown in the accompanying sheet of drawlngs, in which similar characters of reference designate corresponding I parts,

and in which Figure 1 is an end view showing'the application of my invention, Fig. 2 is a side view of the structure shown in Fig. 1, Fig. 3 is an. enlarged cross section taken on line 3-3 of Fig. 2, and, Fig. 4 is a view in perspective of the operating handle used in adj usting the oil burner.

In these drawings, the tank 1 is shown as being of a portable nature being mounted upon a pair of wheels 2 and provided with front supporting feet, as shown at 3. The

inlet of this tank comprises-a funnel 4 provided witha valve control 5, a vent-pipe 6 being also shown in the upper portionof the tank. A furnace boxof any desiredform,

-carsuch, for instance," as is shown at ried in superposed relation with" tank, by means ofthe general framework des tached to the nipple shown at 17,

' nated by the numeral 8, this framework be introduced and removed, while an endwall is provided with a somewhat smaller opening, into which the metallic shell shown at 10 is arranged to fit. Mounted on opposite sides of the shell 10 and in horizontal alinement are a pair of angle clips 11 to which the bell-shaped portion 12, forming a portion of the burner structure is pivot-- ally attached through the medium of the bracket arms 13 and the pivot bolts 14, these latter being provided with an enlarged shoulder to pass through the angle clips and with threaded extremities to engage the bracket arms 13. This bell portion 12 forms a continuation of a nozzle 15 through which the flame is directed into'the interior of the furnace box 7, the rear end of this nozzle 15 being rigidly secured to a fitting shown at 16. This fitting 16 is also ri 'dly atwhich nipple is slightly larger in interior diameter than the air tube shown, at 18 and also shown as being provided with a central bore 19, which latter is in communication with a source of air supply (not shown) by means of the flexible tubing 20 under the control of the valve shown at 21. A fitting 22 is shown as being threaded on to the air tube 18 and on to the member 17 thus providing the space 23 surrounding the major portion I of'the air tube. This fitting is also provided which is threaded an elbow 25, this threaded connection being such as to permit a pivotal movement as will be hereinafter described, but at the same time being air tight by .means of the gasket shown at 26 and the nut shown at 27. The elbow carries a valve 28 at its lower end and this latter is connected to the pipe 29 communicating with the interior of the tank 1. A block shown at 30 is rigidly secured to the pipe 29 at a point directly above the tank 1 and serves a means by which an operating lever 31 may pivotally engage the pipe through the medium of the bolts shown at 32. This operating lever is bifurcated at no end to embrace the block 30 and to also loo pivotally engage an upstanding bracket member 33 as is shown at 34, while its opposite end is apertured as is indicated at 35. This aperture 35 is designed to register with any one of the apertures 36 in the segment 37 also rigidly attached to the tank l and the lever is itself designed to be held in any one of its adjusted positions by means of the pin 38.

If it is desired to change the angle of inclination of the burner as a whole, this may be very handily effected because of the pivotal support of this burner with the furnace box through the medium of the pivot bolts 14. An adjustment in either direction of .the operating handle 31 will cause a correslight oscillatory movement necessary. As

has been related, this connection is rendered air tight by suitable adjustment of the nut 27 on to the washer 26. Operation of the valves 21 and 28 gives a suitable mixture of oil and air, it being understood that the entrance of the air through the burner structure from the pipe 20 acts as a siphon upon the pipe 29, thereby drawing the coil up into the space 23. This mixture is then ignited in the nozzle 15 and the flame directed into the furnace box, through the opening formed by the insertion of the shell 10.

From the foregoing, it will be apparent that I have rovided comparatively simple means where y the ready adjustment of the flame may be eflected so that this flame may be directed to the desired portion of the furnace box itself. Also, by means of a segment 37 and pin 38, this burner may be rigidly held in any adjusted position as long as is desired.

What I claim, is:

1. An oil burning mechanism of the class described comprising a tank, a furnace box,

an oil burner, a nozzle rigidly carried by said burner and arranged to direct the flame into said furnace box, said nozzle being pivotally supported at its forward end from said furnace box, a pipe from said tank pivotally supported from said burner to the rear of the nozzle, and means for holding said pipe in any adjusted position to determine the angularity of said burner and nozzle with respect to said furnace box.

2. An oil burning mechanism of the class described comprising a tank, a furnace box, an oil burner, a nozzle rigidly carried by said burner and arranged to direct the flame into said furnace box, said burner and nozzle being pivotally supported from said furnace box to alter the height of the flame, and a pipe between said burner and said tank, said pipe having a pivotal connection and communicating with the side of said burner.

3. An oil burning mechanism of the class described comprising a tank, a furnace box carried in superposed relation with said tank, an oil burner and nozzle arranged to direct its flame into said furnace box, said burner and nozzle being pivotally supported from said box to alter the height of the flame, a pipe between said burner and said tank, said pipe havinga pivotal connection and communicating with the side of said burner, a lever pivoted to said tank and to said pipe to vertically adjust the same, and means for holding said pipe in, any adjusted position.

4. An oil burning mechanism of the class described comprising a tank, a furnace box, a burner pivotally connected at one end to said furnace box, a supply pipe pivotally connected to the other end of said burner,

and a telescoping connection between said supply pipe and said fuel tank In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
